A good while ago I remember reading about a helpful company who would supply memory foam to replace the roof mattress but sent it pre-cut to allow for the trap. Quite a few members used them but doing a search of the forums I'm not able to find reference to them. The one mention i did find pointed to a thread that was now deleted.
Does anyone remember the company?
Cheers

Aha, that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. Do you mind me asking how much it was to have it cut to order?
I can find 2" double memory foam toppers for £30-£35 elsewhere on-line - but was unsure about how successful I'd be taking a bread knife to it!

No problem, it was £10 to have it cut to size. They've done quite a few so should have the template, if not I've got one as a pdf that you can send them.

Does anyone have a template they could either email me or provide a link here that I could use to cut my memory foam for the roof mattress?
Thanks

I'm thinking of buying a 2" replacement Roof Mattress (comfortz leisure) & wondered if the roof can still be lowered with the mattress still in situ - has anyone else got a roof mattress that they do not need to remove when the roof is lowered ?
With Kind Regards
Phil

Hi, any idea where I can find the template? I don’t seem to find it in the members area. I’m trying to make my own mattress with the dimensions. Thanks a lot and sorry, I’m not very good at finding threads in the forum yet.
